Good morning. This is from
Matthew chapter 7. Ask and it shall be given to you; seek and you shall find;
knock and it shall be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who
seeks finds, and to him who knocks it shall be opened. If you then being evil
know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your Father
who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him! The Greek here means
to keep asking seeking and knocking. It is not just a one-time thing. Of course
James tells us that we don't have because we don't ask; to ask with the right
motive and to ask in faith. You've done that. It's not like you're asking to be
Donald Trump rich. Or that you're seeking to be pastor of victory church.
You're simply asking that your needs to be met, and you are willing to do
whatever God says to do to obtain it. You are also seeking to find out what
God's will is for your life, and you're willing to do whatever He says for that
to happen. You wouldn't give something bad to your children and neither would
God. He would not give you someone or something that is bad for you. That's why
we need to be sure that God is the one giving it to us. When we are sure it is
God, we can be certain that it is good for us. Remember that He is a good, good
Father - that's who He is. And you are loved by Him - that's who you are.
Father thank You that You've already answered the reader’s prayers; and they
are coming with free expedited shipping. Help him/her to be patient and to keep
seeking You and Your will.
When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives.
Good morning. When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion. Notice that “we“ returns. Luke has not been mentioned during the entire two years that Paul was at Caesarea. I guess it is safe to assume that he was in the area during this time. We will leave out the names of a bunch of places where they passed. They had sailed for a good many days and began to have trouble with the wind. This was a warning of what was about to happen. When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast (Day of Atonement) was already over, Paul began to admonish them to not continue, because he perceived that not only would there be a loss of the cargo but also of their lives. The centurion was more persuaded by the pilot and the captain of the ship than by what was being said by Paul. They did not want to get stuck for the winter in the port where they were located. They actually were only g...
